Haha, just kidding! 😀
I wondered about SWG as well, the other day when I was setting up my menu planner. Apparently it’s short for “Sprouted Whole Grain”.

I’ve heard of Sprouted Whole Grain, but know nothing about it. I hope someone can shed some light on this. It’s a food listed on some of the eating plans that I’ve looked at.

MemberHi. =)
I’ve been eating SWG bread in the past and usually I’d find it in healthy food shops. Basically, sprouting is a process that changes grain, and as a result it has lower carbohydrates, less fat and higher protein levels.June 7, 2012 at 4:04 pm #993Brad
MemberI have been eating sprouted Whole grain bread for a while now. It taste really good. You can’t find it everywhere only in certain natural food stores. However speaking from experience I prefer it over other types of bread. I like mine toasted with peanut butter and jam.

MemberThey are also higher in minerals, and generally devoid of undesirable additives, in addition to being high in fiber.
SWG products other than breads are also available in health food stores – all recommended.
Interestingly, despite being closer to a whole food than most other “whole grain” products, the taste is actually milder and the texture more delicate. - AuthorPosts
